There will be several more candi-
dates before the convention next
Thursday than there are offices. 1t is
evident therefore, that some of them
will be disappointed. We hope these
unfOrtunates will cultivate and prac-
tice the virtues of patience and for
bearance. 1t is an honorable thing to
aspire to public office; and it is no dis
honor If the public should prefer an.
other. 1t may require a good deal of
grit to submit gracefully; but the great
world loves grit and thinks a good
deal more of man who pulls off his
coat and goes to work for his success
fulOpponent, than 1t does for one who
sits down and cries because he wasn't
chosen. The great world doesn't like
to hear grown man say, "If you
don't play my way 1 wont playw So if
the "Other fellow" gets there, wade in
and see him through just as youwould
like to have him do if you were in his
place and he in yours. Nobody will
think any the less of you, and you will
stand a great deal better chance the
next time.
The city schools opened Monday
with an attendance of 43S, including
quite a number from the country dis
tricts who have come here to take ad-
vantage of our High School course. The
new teachers are dropping into their
work readily and everything Is already
running smoothly. In the High
School especially the outlook is very

excellent work that has always charac.
terized that department.. Prof. Um-
holtz seems to have already gained the
confidence and esteem of the students,
while he expresses himself as greatly
pleased with the splendid condition in
which he finds the schools. lola has
always been justly proud of her city
schools and there seems every prospect
that the high standard will be MAIN
tanned under the present management.

There, there, do MT cry
sonny, don't cryl We know
that people neglect you
dreadfully, and it is really too bad.
But then people will be people and
they will 60 where they want to, and
it is good deal better for little ones to
get out of the way instead of staying
where they will get stepped on and
hurt. Run along now, and remember
what we have told you.
The Neosho Valley Land Agency
has affected a trade this week by
which Mr. F G Lang exchangeshis lola
property for stock of clothing at
Pleasant Hill, Mo. Just as an illus.
tration of the rate at which the value
Of lola real estate has increased we may
state that Mr.. Lang gets more than
twice as much for his property here as
he paid for it two years ago. The
consists of three residences
Just south of the old Carriage Works
and an acre tract in the edge of town.
The new owners make the trade as q
speculation, believing that lola is a
rood town to invest in. Il

1t has been suggested that pipe be !,

o the band stand in the public square, II
hat at night when the gas is turned :,
'tf from the Carriage works engine it :,
Gould be brought down town and used
o light the streets. The suggestion is
good one and we would like to see it t
arried out. The gas must escape some t
where and when not in use at the
Works it might certainly as well be I

wasted. And think of the Adversely
